England's team for white ball cricket is already strong both in t20 and one day format their team in amongst the best.
But in test matches their performance is going down too much. Their batting line up largely depends upon root and may be stokes. Apart from these two none of the batsman has performed consistently. Their opening combination is also not settled.
Let's not forget the fact that the Australians are having home advantage. Playing at home, Australia is almost invincible. On top of that, they have top players like Smith, Labuschagne, Starc and Cummins. On the other side, there is no stability in England team. Their openers are not in form, and the same can be said about their spinners and middle order. The absence of Archer is hurting them, and Ben Stokes is yet to return to full form. Australia is up by 2-0, and I won't be surprised if the series ends at 5-0.
We all know before this series what is going to happen with England because their performance against India at home was not good, and they were going to face Australia in Australia with they are having services of some top ranked players currently in test world.

Still many were feeling England is going to have some very good but this all was in media or on papers in reality they were really crap with no good batsman and just two bowlers those have not enough back up but still they are doing some better and batsmen are completely outclassed which is big concern at the time. Let's watch now how they plan and complete this tour because surely they are going to lose by whitewash.
